and unlikely to survive
she is in hospital on a BiPap and it probably will be taken off tomorrow as it is not helping.
We (the family) are preparing for the worst to happen very soon

I managed an hours sleep. Stepdad is overwrought. We are going to hospital at about 9 ish this morning. Had no calls overnight about Mum so I am taking that as a good sign.

Spooks am thinking of you today............remember be positive when you go in there to see her, she needs to hear you upbeat, she needs to know your all supporting her.

You are a very strong person and you will do the right thing. Now call me if you need to talk, scream etc.
